Seasonal produce often sets menu direction at Octavia (@sf_octavia), where Chefs Melissa Perello (@m_perello) and Jack Irving (@jackrving) pair Napa cabbage with Oro Blanco grapefruit and California almonds. The almonds are used in two forms: toasted and salted to add crunch and salinity, and blended into an almond paste that enriches a Japanese-style sesame goma sauce with sweet, nutty, and earthy depth, layered with sesame, alliums, and aïoli.⁠
⁠
“The focus is balance, contrasting the earthy sweetness of Napa cabbage and goma sauce with the bright acidity of Oro Blanco grapefruit to keep the palate fresh and invite another bite,” they explain. A final drizzle of Sichuan chile oil adds a subtle heat, while the almonds provide continuity, carrying texture and flavor throughout the plate without excess.⁠
⁠

To my Sarah,

From the moment I knew you I craved you. Even after falling in love, moving in together, growing together, and spending countless hours together. I crave your smile, I crave your wisdom, I crave your touch, I crave your love. I crave it all. It motivates me in every aspect of my life. You are the light at the end of the tunnel, my muse, my world. Not a day goes by that you are not on my mind. Thank you for having me and agreeing to continue to have me. I cannot wait to marry you.

- Love, Jack by @jackrving
